Quotes by Jane Mount  (?)

“I know that any book, when read at the right moment, might make my life better, might give me a greater understanding of the universe and all the other people in it.”
Jane Mount, Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany

“The goal of this book is to triple the size of your To Be Read pile. It's a literary Wunderkammer, connecting you with books you might love for all kinds of reasons―because the subject speaks to you, because you found it through a great local library, or because there is a cute cat on the cover. Like a portable, beloved bookstore with aisles full of passionate shelftalkers, this volume contains for everyone who enters. Each time you open it, you'll find another jewel you didn't you needed to find until that moment.”
Jane Mount, Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany

“As Neil Gaiman said, a book is a "little empathy machine," and it is "very hard to hate people of a certain kind when you've just read a book of one of those people".”
Jane Mount, Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany
